How It Works

We calculate total coverage needed including wastage, then determine full boxes required.

Total Needed = (L × W) × (1 + Waste%)

Boxes = Ceiling(Total Needed / Box Coverage)

Total Cost = Boxes × Price per Box

Advice

  • Always round up to the nearest full box.
  • Keep 1 extra box for future repairs if possible.
  • Standard waste is 5-10% for simple rooms, 10-15% for complex layouts.
